Sky House is a spacious renovated home with dramatic south facing views set on nearly four park like acres in Monterey MA. The home benefits from 4-5 bedrooms 3.5 baths and light-filled open plan living/dining/kitchen spaces, great for entertaining. The property is accessed through a wooded driveway from Corashire Road, this opens up to pasture and lawns revealing the house. Parking for several cars is available at the front of the house. Huge fieldstones create a pathway towards the south facing double door entrance of the house. On entrance the generous reception hall leads to the left a bright living and dining room with the kitchen thoughtfully located to the rear of the space but still able to enjoy the dramatic far reaching views. To the right downstairs is a substantial room about 24ft x 24ft with its own private entrance and on-suite show¬er room. It can be guest quarters, media room, kids play room or fifth bedroom if required. A rear facing brick vestibule allows access from the garages situated behind the house with further parking. The upstairs can be accessed by two sets of stairways at each end of the house, they are unified with a light filled corridor that runs the length of the north side of the house punctuated with multiple bright windows. Upstairs benefits from 4 good-sized bedrooms and two full bathrooms, all the bedrooms afford far-reaching views to both the south and west towards Mount Everett and the New York border. The master bedroom is over 24ft x 20ft and features a fireplace and floor to ceiling windows. The land viewed to the south is part of the Woodburn Farm Preservation Trust and secures 155 acres from development, in fact 67% of the land in Monterey is protected and held in trust to preserve the character of this wonderful village. The magazine publisher who coined the term Hi-Fi built Sky House in 1947, Mr. Sleeper significantly over-engineered the house with reinforced concrete floors and with bricks he had acquired from a hotel in Saratoga, NY. On the outside at the back of the house is a ceramic frieze depicting explorers all making Sky House a very unique and exceptional home. The splendid south facing views and of course its wonderful location positioned just 6 miles east of Great Barrington and Stockbridge 8 miles away make the location very hard to beat. During winters with snow you can be on the slopes in 5 minutes at ever-popular Butternut Ski basin and minutes for swimming and the beach at idyllic Lake Garfield in the heart of Monterey in summer.
